About the role
What will you do at Oracle?
We are looking for engineers who are excited to experiment, prototype, learn
quickly, and turn promising ideas into production-quality software. You will
have opportunities to work with LLMs, AI agents, reasoning systems, context and
retrieval techniques, evaluation systems, and intelligent automation while
solving real developer productivity problems.
Success in this role requires curiosity and strong engineering fundamentals. You
should be comfortable working on problems where the requirements or technical
approach may not initially be clear. You will collaborate with senior engineers,
product managers, AI/ML teams, and OCI service teams to explore potential
solutions, validate assumptions through experimentation, and determine which
ideas can deliver meaningful improvements to the developer experience.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will own significant components from design
through production. You will contribute to architecture and technical decisions,
build prototypes to evaluate new approaches, and develop scalable services and
platform capabilities that turn successful AI experiments into reliable
developer experiences.
RESPONSIBILITIES
* Design and build AI-powered developer tools and platform capabilities that
improve developer productivity across software development, testing,
debugging, delivery, and operational workflows.
* Experiment with emerging AI technologies by building prototypes, evaluating
models and agentic approaches, testing hypotheses, and using results to
determine which ideas should progress toward production.
* Develop production services integrating LLMs, AI agents, context and
retrieval systems, tool integrations, orchestration, evaluation, and
intelligent automation.
* Own substantial components through the complete engineering lifecycle,
including design, implementation, testing, deployment, observability,
operations, and continuous improvement.
* Work effectively in ambiguous problem spaces, breaking broad problems into
tractable engineering challenges, evaluating alternatives, and iterating as
requirements and technologies evolve.
* Contribute to architecture and design discussions, working with senior
technical leaders to develop solutions that are scalable, extensible, secure,
reliable, and cost-efficient.
* Build mechanisms to evaluate the effectiveness of AI-powered experiences,
using automated evaluation, telemetry, experimentation, and developer
feedback to improve quality and reliability.
* Collaborate across engineering, product, AI/ML, and OCI service teams to
integrate platform capabilities and deliver end-to-end developer experiences.
* Investigate complex technical issues across distributed systems and AI
components, identify root causes, and implement durable solutions.
* Contribute to a strong engineering culture through thoughtful design and code
reviews, technical documentation, knowledge sharing, and mentoring other
engineers.
Required Qualifications
* 5+ years of software engineering experience designing, building, and
operating production software systems.
* Strong programming and software engineering skills, with experience building
distributed systems, cloud services, developer infrastructure, platform
services, or large-scale backend systems.
* Experience with or strong demonstrated interest in LLMs, generative AI, AI
agents, or related AI technologies, including the engineering considerations
involved in integrating AI capabilities into software products.
* Demonstrated willingness to experiment and learn in rapidly evolving
technical areas, including building prototypes, evaluating alternatives,
using data to validate assumptions, and adapting based on results.
* Ability to work effectively with ambiguous requirements, independently break
down complex problems, make sound engineering tradeoffs, and drive
substantial technical work to completion.
* Experience designing and delivering reliable production software, including
considerations around APIs, scalability, testing, observability, performance,
security, and operational excellence.
* BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical
field, or equivalent practical experience.
Desired Qualifications
* Experience building AI-powered developer tools, coding assistants or agents,
intelligent testing or debugging systems, developer automation, or developer
productivity platforms.
* Practical experience with LLMs, agentic workflows, tool use, context
engineering, retrieval, inference, model APIs, or AI evaluation techniques.
* Experience with cloud-native and distributed systems technologies, including
containers, orchestration, service APIs, messaging, data stores, and
production observability.
* Experience using experimentation and quantitative evaluation to assess new
technologies or product capabilities and improve them based on measurable
results.
* Demonstrated ability to learn unfamiliar technologies quickly, contribute to
technical design discussions, collaborate effectively across teams, and take
ownership of complex engineering problems.
